The headline, "Travel Refreshed," ties the drink to the experience of getting somewhere, a pitch that suited a brand sold cold at train depots, filling stations, and roadside stands. Coca-Cola advertising across the twentieth century often showed everyday scenes of leisure and movement, presenting the soft drink as a small pleasure within a busy day. The ellipsis after "Refreshed" leaves the viewer to finish the thought, a conversational tone the company used often in its ads. Images like this reached audiences through magazines and posters, which helped make the bottle a familiar sight across the country.
